Friday Devotional - Blessings. . .
Recently I attended the Pizza Ranch National Conference and my goal was to serve and be a blessing to those who were with me (my family) and to those who were in attendance (my fellow team members and our franchise community). To be completely honest, I had not specifically planned anything in particular, but I was praying and asking for God to show me His will in doing so. It was truly amazing how God flipped the script once I gave Him the reigns and allowed Him to lead.

Tuesday Truths - 2 Corinthians 1:3
Praise to the God of All Comfort Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

Monday Mission - Sad Days and Bad Days
Sometimes we don't have the right words to express ourselves adequately when we or someone else is having a bad, sad, mad, day. I want to tell you that it's ok! We don't always have to express ourselves with words. Prayer has the power to overcome our inadequacies so God can be present and at work in us and through us.

Thursday Thoughts - Many Good Choices
Often we can get tied into this idea that one path is right, and the other is wrong. However not every time is there a "right" or "wrong" decision. Sometime God presents you with 2 good options. Move forward in confidence that whichever path you take – if you are obedient to God and serve him faithfully – you will find blessings.
